The Chinese Chamber of Commerce building is a heritage building facing Light Street in Penang. The building is wrapped around the corner from Penang Street to Light Street with a colonnaded five-foot way on the outside. It was designed by a local architect, Chew Eng Eam in 1926. On the rooftop is an open air verandah with splended views of the greens of Esplanade or Padang Kota. The building carries ornamentations in the form of urns, corbels, terrace balustrades and mock Tudor gable.

The Chinese Chamber of Commerce building is located on the opposite side of Penang Street from Foo Tye Sin Mansion, which was owned by one of the wealthiest persons in Penang in the late 19th century.
